Hi There,

You need to install supported java version and define JAVA_HOME environment variable. Please do this if it is not done. You can find more information in the installation guides. you can find installation guides at [service.sap.com/instguides]

hope this helps.

Hi

Check whether you have correct java version and environment variables.

Hello,

One possible cause is that the limits in your environment are set too low. Before starting sapinst issue following commands (or better, add them to a shell script together with the sapinst command so that you don't forget them in case of a restart):

-- in sh / ksh / bash:
ulimit -d unlimited  
ulimit -m unlimited
ulimit -s unlimited

-- In the C shell (csh):
limit datasize unlimited 
limit memory unlimited 
limit stacksize unlimited

Let me know how this goes.

Regards,

Mark
